- In October 2024, Honeywell Automation India Limited was awarded a contract to supply its advanced Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) system for Noida International Airport (NIA). The project includes the design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of the AGL system on runway 10L-28R and associated taxiways. Honeywell’s intelligent lighting technology enhances visual guidance for aircraft, improving safety and streamlining operations—especially in low-visibility conditions. The system automatically adjusts lighting based on aircraft surveillance data, boosting pilot situational awareness. This initiative supports India’s aviation modernization and aligns with NIA’s goal of delivering a seamless and secure passenger experience
- In October 2023, Avlite Systems introduced a new range of energy-efficient LED runway lights, reinforcing the aviation industry's transition toward sustainable and cost-effective lighting technologies. These advanced systems are designed to improve visibility, reduce energy consumption, and lower maintenance costs—key priorities for modern airports. Avlite’s LED solutions also support compliance with international safety standards and are well-suited for both permanent and expeditionary airfield installations
- In July 2023, Honeywell International Inc. announced a significant expansion of its presence in India’s aviation sector by launching a 41,000-square-foot Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) manufacturing facility in Gurugram. This initiative aligns with the ‘Make in India’ program and aims to support multiple new airport projects across the country. The advanced LED-based AGL systems are designed to enhance runway safety, improve energy efficiency, and reduce maintenance costs. These systems are FAA-certified and ICAO-compliant, showcasing Honeywell’s commitment to sustainable and high-performance airport infrastructure in one of the world’s fastest-growing aviation markets
- In March 2023, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced a major investment to upgrade runway and taxiway lighting systems at 82 airports across the United States. This initiative, part of President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, reflects a growing shift toward energy-efficient LED technology in airfield lighting. These upgrades aim to enhance visibility, reduce maintenance costs, and improve safety during low-visibility and nighttime operations
- In January 2023, ADB SAFEGATE introduced its LED Smart Runway Centerline Lighting (SRCL) system, a cutting-edge solution aimed at improving runway safety and operational efficiency. The SRCL system offers pilots a sharper and more reliable visual reference for the runway centerline, especially during low-visibility conditions. By leveraging advanced LED technology, it enhances visibility, reduces maintenance needs, and supports sustainable airport operations
